Chapter 4: The King's Sickbed
That is, since then, the king has been ill and bedridden for more than a month, and in the blink of an eye, the weather changed suddenly, and suddenly there was heavy snow in the spring, and it was only a day when the snow in the palace was more than a foot.
In the afternoon sun, a group of palace maids, eunuchs and imperial forbidden soldiers began to sweep the snow from the main roads in the palace.
Princess Le and her daughter Hong Yan went all the way to the palace in the snow to visit the king's illness, and his personal palace maid arranged warm chairs for the princess and Hong Yan to the emperor's bedside.
At each end of the king's dragon bed were placed two braziers, and the charcoal was burning in them.
Dressed in a purple cloud embroidered robe, he smiled and chattered as soon as he entered the palace.
This royal brother's sleeping hall is different, sister and I feel warm as soon as I come in, and I will come to you for the winter in the future.
Then he sat down with a rich and compelling posture.
Hong Yan also said on the side that the king's palace was warm.
He was very concerned about his brother's body lying on the bed, and asked him slowly if the brocade quilt on his body was comfortable.
Wang looked at Hong Yan, who was dressed in snow-white brocade, with a dull gaze, and then whispered to Yi Le,
Don't worry, sister, I'm just too weak to get out of bed, it should be fine in a few days.
Le listened to him carefully, and looked at the haggard face of the disheveled god, and he couldn't bear it.
It took a while for him to say something、You must not have forgotten how Kyohime died。
Wang Buyu just nodded at the mother and son, and told her the cause of Xingji's death when she recalled.
At that time, her mother found all kinds of evidence of Xingji's fornication, so she asked her father to kill her.
After hearing this, he put his left hand into his bed, shook his wrist, and whispered.
The queen mother's temperament is as strong as a man's, she wants Zhang Chaoshen's daughter Zhang Yan, marry you as the queen, you have to obey it, she wants to clean up Cai Ji, who has been against her for many years, and you can only follow her.
As soon as the words of the bream were said here, the palace maid Yingfeng at the gate of the main hall came in to inform the king and the lord outside the palace of His Majesty that he was asking to see him in the snow.
After hearing this, the king was unhappy, his face was gloomy, and he said weakly to the palace maid Yingfeng,
Let him go to the queen mother and He Yiru to make up his mind, and don't bother me again in the future.
Yingfeng responded and exited the palace and went out to pass the word to Duan Qian.
Knowing that he was weak, he had to get up and go to the Empress Dowager's palace, leaving only Hong Yan and Wang in the palace.
She stared blankly at the king's haggard face and messy hair, and then said softly,
I heard that my grandmother made you sick, so I made a special trip to the palace with my mother to see you, hoping that my uncle would recover soon.
He lay on the bed and turned his face to look at her, followed by a smile on his face, and said softly that you will remember me.
When she heard the king say this, she was not happy in her heart, and she pouted and said, "You are making fun of me, I would have known that I would not come if you wanted to do this, and I would go directly to my grandmother to have fun."
He smiled slightly, and then said, Let's go and play with my grandmother, I'm weak and don't want to talk to you.
She told the king who was lying on the bed earnestly.
I'm here to see you, where are you going to let me go, I just said that on purpose.
I don't have time to chat with you right now, he said slowly.
You didn't hear what Mother just said, and Grandmother had to do this, and no one could change it.
Grandmother has a strong temperament, she has to do this, I really don't allow it.
Hongyan saw his serious face, and as soon as he was happy, he said, if you are not satisfied, it will be good to make me a princess, and it may be good to vent your anger.
He looked at Hong Yan blankly and said disheartenedly, Maybe you are still young and don't understand, the queen mother insists on this, no one can change it, and I guess even I can't.
What should I do then, she asked him mischievously.
The king turned his face to look at the ceiling, and was silent for a long time, ignoring her.
Soon after, the king recovered from his illness, and began to be lazy and lazy, and neglected court affairs, and many major court affairs depended on the Empress Dowager Song Su alone.
In the third year of the Shenlong Dynasty, the king of Shenlong, Yi Ruo, married Zhang Yan as his wife and became the third queen of Bianguo.
